Tesla threw is MY owners a bone - Performance Boost is now 4.2 seconds

[TomServo]

For fun, I went and looked at my Software info and when I clicked on the Info button this popped up

I'm still on SW v 40.3 so they must have secretly pushed this last night.

I wonder if they improved off-line acceleration too. Gonna take it for a spin and grin.

Unfortunately your image didn't come through. Would be interested in seeing it.

 

[TomServo]

Odd I see it

Isn't that the same as before?

edit: no, it was 4.4 before, according to a screenshot in another thread!

I was leaning performance but now... argh can't decide!

No, it was 4.3 from 4.8

Wow, now for the wailing and gnashing of teeth of those that paid $2k for it last month.....! (I see photo as well)

that was with the upgrade. I just bought it a couple of weeks ago. They just shaved a .1. If you buy today I’m sure you buy the 4.2 time.

Ah I see, didn't realize you had bought it. I'm not sure it's available any longer.

Why would you think it's unavailable? That is a worry for me. About to order and am kinda relying on the upgrade being available...

Go through the order process, it's not there. And someone with a Y currently can chime in on whether it's available now post-purchase. I think it expired on 9/30.

Performance boost is a post-purchase upgrade. I'm not aware of the option ever going away.

Wonder if this is leading to a Model Y performance increase in 0-60.

My bad, I think I was thinking of the EAP....

Hope so. I'm happy with the PUP as-is, but it's clearly holding back performance at low speeds.

I agree.

If they don't update the Y to launch like the 3, I may switch to a 3 performance in a year or two whenever it gets the new battery tech ..

Huge difference in stepping on the brake and accelerator vs just no feet then SMASH the accelerator down.

Never tried "roll" mode vs "hold" wonder if that would help?

This was a "hold" mode (accelerator smash only no touching brake) launch

Ummm, that is showing Performance level 0-60 times...

That'd be great if the new acceleration boost did that!

Nevermind, his post history shows he has a performance. Such a tease posting that in an AWD Performance Boost thread...

A nice Draggy, VBOX, or track run with the new 0.6s boost would be most appreciated!
